I ordered from Saffron.com. It was expensive, but the shipping was criminal.


Kae,

You think $10 shipping for 5 grams is "criminal"? It think it is fair.

I compared the cost of Penzeys, Spice House and Saffron Imports (Xanath) fro 5 grams of Coupe grade.

    Saffron Imports $22 plu $10 shipping = $32
    Penzey's $61 plus $10 shipping = $71
    Spice House $49 plus $12 shipping = $61
    Amazon $30 plus $5 shipping = $35

FWIW, I've sent Xanath vanilla beans to folks on this board, and the shipping for me (USPS) is $7.

As goes the price of fuel (at least when it's going upwards), so goes the price of shipping.

Funny though...when the price of fuel goes down, somehow shipping costs do not.
